Hannibal

Lyrics

Let the niggers burn down nigger town
 Step aside for burning and looting
 But if they set foot in Beverly Hills
 Time brother, brother time to start shooting
 Everything everybody has in their homes
 Will be taken away next week Wednesday
 And everything everybody ever believed
 Will be disproved next week Friday
 I'm going down to Hannibal
 Going down to Hannibal
 Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
 Hitler never hurt a soul
 I read it in a book
 That I finished up just this morning
 I was happy and I just couldn't wait to tell the good news
 To all of my dead uncles
 When they tore down the Berlin wall
 Everybody danced
 But between what I feel and what I say
 There's a thirty foot barbed wire fence
 I'm going down to Hannibal
 Going down to Hannibal
 Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
 The world is one big cosmic joke
 Played on me, I hear
 As soon as I leave this room
 All of you are going to disappear
 Time begins to bend and shift
 Maybe you haven't noticed
 But just the other day a man in Washington state
 Admitted killing Jesus
 I'm going down to Hannibal
 Going down to Hannibal
 Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
 I'm six foot tall and 180 lbs
 I can punch through a wall with my fist
 But I don't understand how with just one kiss
 You can wrap me around your finger
 You can wrap me around your wrist
 Everybody who has ever ever been alive
 Is alive today in Georgia
 As for the rest of us, I don't even know who we are
 It's a mystery I guess
 I'm going down to Hannibal
 Going down to Hannibal
 Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
 You see, everything I know, I learned from my dad
 He learned it all from his
 And his dad just happened to be
 Wrong about everything
 I'm going down to Hannibal
 I'm gonna buy a new suit of clothes
 I'm going to wear three neckties
 You're going to help with the bows
 You're going to help with the bows
 You're going to help with the bows
